BAKERSFIELD, Calif. - The CSUN Beach Volleyball team evened its season record at 5-5 after picking up a pair of tri-dual wins Saturday at CSU Bakersfield's Barnes Beach Volleyball Complex.

The tri-dual got underway with CSU Bakersfield defeating Marymount, 4-1 before the Matadors took to the sand and claimed all 10 sets in the 5-0 win over the Mariners. In posting its second 5-0 win of the season, CSUN did not drop a set.Â
Darbi Honeycutt and Mikaela Maughan took a straight-set (21-17, 21-17) decision over Brooke Horack and Landry Armstrong at No. 2 to earn their their fifth consecutive win and team-leading sixth victory of the season. Taylor Brydon and Lauren McMurray then won 21-17, 21-6 over Madison Hallen and Elizabeth Steubs to make it 2-0 CSUN.Â
The Matadors then clinched the dual in the second flight of matches as Daniella Molinari and Seyvion Waggoner snapped a six-match skid with a 21-18, 21-17 win over Aiko Waters and Jaylyn Porras at No. 1. Nicole Nevarez and Lexi McLeod won their second straight, defeating Alysa Wertz and Jordan Manuel 21-11, 21-11 at No. 3 before Cassidy Rosso and Kailey Klein made quick work of Lauren Addington and Mariana Tuner, 21-7, 21-9 at No. 5 to complete the sweep.
